11. houses stocked with all kinds of goods that you didn’t stock, cisterns that you didn’t make, vineyards and olive trees that you didn’t plant—and you eat and get stuffed,
12. watch yourself! Don’t forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
13. Revere the Lord your God, serve him, and take your solemn pledges in his name!
14. Don’t follow other gods, those gods of the people around you—
15. because the Lord your God, who is with you and among you, is a passionate God. The Lord your God’s anger will burn against you, and he will wipe you off the fertile land.
16. Don’t test the Lord your God the way you frustrated him at Massah.
17. You must carefully follow the Lord your God’s commands along with the laws and regulations he has given you.
